GSP's Book of the Day September 6

Shifty by Elizabeth Ann Scarborough


#gypsyshadow #checkeditout #shortstories

What you see (at first) is not what you get in this collection of nine previously published tales of shape shifting and transformation. An Alaskan student of wildlife biology finds it difficult to write convincingly about what she knows. A proud and beautiful princess loses her popularity when cursed (in a way probably familiar to many readers) by a wicked enchanter. A lonely Cajun fiddler has a close encounter with his royal but scaly ancestor. In the secret story of the railroad that transformed the American West, Chinese and Irish workers compete to complete the job with a little help from supernatural friends. A lowly jeweler creates a wondrous bauble for the sultan's favorite, but his reward, an exalted royal elephant, eats him out of house and home until he unlocks her secret. An Irish nurse discovers the identity of the lone fiddler who plays at the bedside of a critically ill patient. A middle-aged woman, suddenly invisible, improves her love and social life during Mardi Gras. And a predatory bill collector meets his match in a story so dark that the author even changed her name. In these shifty stories, you'll be wondering who happens next!

Before you read these poems, be prepared. Tear down all your walls and submerge yourself into the murky, muddled waters of raw emotion. Depression. Anxiety. Sadness. Fear. Angst. No stone is left unturned as you move through each poem, gripped with the sheer torment of lost love, rejection and nightmare.

Book of the Day May 23

Dangerous Ground by Herb Marlow


From the fired town marshal who stays on to foil a holdup, to a trapper who rescues an orphan boy, this collection is filled with Western heroes of the old breed. The reader can smell the gun smoke, and chuckle at a man who uses an old corset to beat a bully to the draw. Dangerous Ground is not merely a collection of eleven Western short stories, it is historical fiction at its best. Author Herb Marlow will take you to the West and make you wish you’d lived there in the days of bad horses, worse men, and roaring trail towns.

Beneath the Surface (anthology) by Steve Foreman


 --> This is a collection of weird tales that scratch the surface of life to reveal both the supernatural and real horrors or unexpected events that can lie beneath.

A photo booth that predicts death, a computer programme with a horrific application, hauntings and ghost stories, morbid vampire humour, a radio that broadcasts momentous events past and yet to come, faint shades of H. P. Lovecraft and Stephen King, a splash of Ray Bradbury...

** A great collection of short stories about the paranormal and the unknown, often with a sting in the tale. Perfect for dipping in and out of, or settling down for a binge read. Any fan of the Twilight Zone will love these stories!

Jessica Gregson, author of The Angel Makers and The Ice Cream Army.

We encourage you to search for and buy it at Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, or on our Gypsy Shadow website and help our authors succeed, despite Amazon's bizarre treatment of authors and Indie publishers!
